24's President Woman

I was skimming Bob Waters' blog finding his fevered article begging the universe and God to not let it be true that Jack Bauer has been recast with Keanu Reeves. Apparently he found a practical joker-altered Wikipedia entry that made the claim. Naturally it wasn't so, but when I was skimming Wikipedia's 24 article I found that the new President character will be a woman!

As an aside, my first woman POTUS on television was on the X-Men cartoon from the nineties. It seemed rather shallow and the President character only was meaningful later in the series, when it was a name character.

The new President will be played by Cherry Jones. I do not know who she is. One is fit to wonder if "Allison Taylor" will act like a Hillary Clinton (of course the Hillary character on the show has already been and done) or be played as a Margaret Thatcher character.

Time will tell.
